KUWAIT CITY, Sep 15: An expatriate, whose visa had expired in 2017, was investigated to determine how he managed to stay at a hotel for 35 days despite his illegal status. Authorities are probing whether he used a fake ID to deceive hotel management or if the hotel knowingly allowed him to stay despite his violation.
According to a security source, a citizen filed a complaint at the Rumaithiya police station on behalf of the hotel, reporting that the expatriate stayed at the hotel for 35 days without paying, despite repeated requests, and then fled to an unknown location. Upon investigation, the authorities arrested the individual and confirmed that he had been violating residency laws for over four years.
The source also suggested that the expatriate could face deportation, with his name likely being added to the list of individuals barred from re-entering the country. The hotel management is also under scrutiny, as they are responsible for verifying the residency status or entry visa of any expatriate staying on their premises.
